So not a silly teenager then Gay. I know my WIQ is gay. Lives with her partner so can never be more than a crush. Also at the back of my mind I know outside of the interest that brings us together we would have little in common...

emailed about an hour ago, no reply yet.

Crushinghard · 20/04/2012 21:49

Polly, checking in for news. Come on WIQ, reply!

likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 21:52

thanks for offering L-tea, polly, I am getting some lazytime rest. Your wiq may be out for the eve though, I think may well not reply till late or tomorrow early. How soon can you aranged babysitter? if it's early maybe still ok to agree but insist that she gives her number so that you aer not stuck in limbo next time.
digbert I'm sure you aer not pestering your wiq though, being a wise mature person, unlike that silly girl with Gay40 (much younger than her at that).
As to sleep's partner, the trip is in July, they might split by then for all we know (and should imo). She'd already have enough to go on with if she wanted some revenge towards P, booking a trip for June shows that she's sincere as she's thinking ahead, she could ve outed sleepless already. (sorry can't look at last page when typing so can't remember exact name of the poster who asked these q's).

likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 21:54

I meant they might split with her current P (regarding sleep), not with wiq.

pollyblue · 20/04/2012 21:55

Hi Likea babysitter is all arranged, I just don't want to have to tell them I don't need them after all at the last minute.

likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 22:01

well, polly she'll either put you off with her behaviour so that you cool off, or she'll reply and turn up - it can be sot of left to destiny. Try to accept whatever happens as it's either meant to be or not. It's not the case that she needs a little effort, it's either there in her or not and you can't do much imo.

pollyblue · 20/04/2012 22:06

I know, yes, I just think it's really bloody rude leaving it up in the air.

likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 22:12

THank you Allotment! I will pm you with other questions as they come (and I can assure you there will be many, tell me when you had enough). Found some brackets on ebay (yay!)

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 22:14

I like to know where I am with arrangements too, but I'm quite rubbish at affording that courtesy to others Sad

OP posts:
likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 22:17

polly, I know, I'm just saying it is either meant to serve the purpose of make you lose interest, or it will be a final barrier (well, not so final, but iykwim).

likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 22:20

I'm opposite, like to confirm hings myself often before others do, I think it's my liking to be in some control but also I'd be mortified and very guilty if I just forgot! I try to not deal with people who unreliable, can do with somewhere in hte middle, but not unreliable. I'm amazed G40 - you come across as reliable especially on the thread (but also with your Mrs - I bet you don't let her hanging, at least).

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 22:27

I am very reliable and I don't leave people hanging but I can be a bit laissez faire with reminders and confirmations etc

OP posts:
likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 22:29

the difference is that polly's wiq never has set a time - it's not just about confirming. I'm sure you don't do that.

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 22:31

I don't think I do, but Mrs G has no concept of times or dates so I look good in comparison.

OP posts:
likeatonneofbricks · 20/04/2012 22:37

ha, how did you ever manage to set your dates then, G?

Gay40 · 20/04/2012 22:40

I don't remember it being a problem then. But we were younger and in love and mobiles had just been invented.

polly hope you are ok? not great to have pmt AND a crappy lack of e-mail from wiq (or maybe you aer involved in e-mailing now?)

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:08

Hi Likea no, not a squeak from The Bolter, I'm just watching 'Lip Service' that I recorded earlier.

sleeplessindenial · 21/04/2012 00:10

Evening all Smile

I am just back from a family event, had a really good time.

Lots of texts today and 3 phone calls, am going over Monday morning to play hair dressers and got plans for tuesday morning too Smile

As usual I am half way through my goodnight email and have had my goodnight text including another "I love you" Smile

But I am jealous about her date Envy he is being very charming to her now and she seems to be looking forward to it. That's what all the playing hairdresser and stuff is about. Gah.

Only had about 20 texts off her today though so less than usual.

I have got to pop round to hers briefly in the morning to drop something off but won't be able to stay unfortunately.

Dp knows I have vague plans to go camping etc but won't say yay or nay until closer to the time.

I really don't think I am being set up - wiq has no contact with Dp and she is so lovely and nice that I just can't see it happening. She would have to be a very good actress to fake the emotion in her emails and in her manner around me. Even if I am wrong and it is all a big game it will be worth it because I've seen a whole new side to me and I quite like it.

Polly, I hope you've had a reply to your email!
Likea, glad to see you are still around, looking forward to Monday's update.
Gay, I think you did the right thing being firm.
Allotment, I used to have an allotment Grin

Hello to everyone else too, trouble with this phone is that I can't scroll back to retread posts so am relying on memory.

pollyblue · 21/04/2012 00:14

Hi sleepless I was wondering where you were tonight Smile

So WIQ is going on her date? Bugger.

I love your 'only had about 20 texts today' - only 20?! Grin

Howver things work out with WIQ it sounds like this whole experience could be the making of you Smile

likeatonneofbricks · 21/04/2012 00:15
